In plain English terms, the paradox states "IF Intelligent life outside the solar system exists, it would be here by now. It has not arrived. Ergo, it does not exist."

Since you and I are debating for what its worth
... heres one for ya. Now.. Seeing how we humans can only see a small spectrum of the colors that exist. Then couldn't it be possible that they 'slipped' through our defenses and are actually here observing us? I mean we would be unable to see them with our current five senses, and if they aren't making themselves known, I'm sure they'd evade anything that would show them visible to us. This being said.. I'll go back to the Paradox's meaning.
"IF Intelligent life outside the solar system exists, it would be here by now. It has not arrived. Ergo, it does not exist."
Now, from my hypothetical situtation... How could we know they have not arrived? Perhaps they have, but we are unable to notice them. I know this is about to sound REALLY Geeky, and on the verge of Dorkish, but think like Star Trek. They would monitor groups, but they would either blend in, or use holograms to "cloak" thier observation base.
And on a side note: This can also be reflected back to ghosts and spirits as well. The normal 5 senses don't notice them, but perhaps there are other senses that we have that can.
